Chapter 5 MIDI Features This chapter explains the SU200's MIDI features. MIDI IN JOB MIDI About MIDI What is MIDI? MIDI (for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface") is a standard, internationally recognized interface for music-related digital communication among electronic instruments, computers, sequencers, and related devices. The interface allows different types of devices from different manufactures to exchange music performance data, music voice data, and other music-related information. MIDI Channels A single MIDI cable carries up to 16 channels of performance data. The channel concept is the same as with TV broadcasting: multiple channels are transmitted, and the viewer selects any one of these channels to be received. If you wish to control the SU200 from an external MIDI device, therefore, you need to set the SU200's MIDI Receive channel to match the external device's Send channel. MIDI Features Supported by the SU200 q Use the clock from an external sequencer to control the timing of Loop-Track Play.
